Chapter 150: Pecking by a Bird
"Didn't you say that your eldest brother caught four rabbits today? If we win, you give us a rabbit, and if you win, we give you a rabbit. How about that?" Kang Kang suggested.
"Okay, it's a deal, let's pinky promise!"
After the four little kids made a hook, they started the competition.
"Si Ya, let's try our best. We can't let them take our rabbit away."
Zhou Minghua nodded seriously. How dare he covet their little rabbit?!
She won't agree to that.
Zhou Mingyuan picked up a wooden stick from the ground and pulled Zhou Minghua towards a place with more grass.
There were many grass branches on the roadside, and farmers working there would accidentally rub against their backpacks, causing many ears of wheat to fall off.
There were many such paths in the village. Zhou Mingyuan took Zhou Minghua along the path and the basket was almost full.
Then they picked up some more things on the road, and then they met Jianjian and Kangkang on the road.
"How is it? Are ours more?"
Looking at Zhou Mingyuan's basket, Jianjian and Kangkang looked at each other, with disbelief and a hint of cunning in their eyes.
"Zhou Sandan, did you cheat? How could you possibly pick up so much? You didn't go home to get it!"
After saying this, Jiankangkang actually laughed at him.
"No, we just picked it up on the roadside. You don't want to admit it, do you? You lose, give us the rabbit quickly."
Zhou Mingyuan felt something was wrong. Was it possible that he would never get the rabbit back?
"What rabbits? We were just talking about playing. Besides, how could you possibly pick up so many rabbits with Si Ya? You're clearly trying to trick us."
It was okay for them to joke around normally, but Zhou Mingyuan really hated it when they didn't keep their promises.
How abominable.
But the rabbit hasn't been caught yet, he has to endure it!
"I've told you that this is what Si Ya and I picked up. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to my house and see that the wheat stalks in my house are all flat."
Jian Jiankang didn't care at all. "Just take a look. If you really didn't steal it, I'll give you one. Anyway, I have a lot of rabbits now, so one less doesn't matter."
Zhou Mingyuan didn’t understand what they meant. When did his house have so many rabbits?
But he still took them to his own threshing ground.
From a distance I could see my grandmother, aunt and mother turning the wheat.
Jiankangkang looked through the straw in the threshing field and found that it was just as Zhou Mingyuan said, the straw was flat?!
"It's over, it's over. A newborn rabbit is gone..."
The two twins looked at each other, their faces full of dejection.
"Look, aren't the straws in my house flat? If you still don't believe me, I'll take you to my yard to see, they're all flat."
Jian Jiankang didn't believe it, so he followed Zhou Mingyuan to look back and forth. After confirming that they were all flattened, he promised to send him a rabbit.
"Sandan, why are the straws in your house flat?"
It's really frustrating!
"Haha, I have a little donkey at home, and the little donkey brought stones to step on. Don't waste time, go get me the rabbit, don't try to cheat, otherwise we will have no brotherhood!"
Zhou Mingyuan poured the wheat in the basket into the wheat pile. He and his sister ran all this way just for this rabbit.
I won't feel at ease until I get it.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. Kang Kang and I will think of a solution and then send the rabbit back to you."
Jianjian and Kangkang returned home dejectedly with their baskets. They wanted to catch birds, but they were pecked by them? ?
Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua, who won a rabbit, did not go out again, but went to the backyard to feed the rabbit.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi were picking day lilies on the mountain wearing straw hats and carrying baskets.
There are butterflies and bees everywhere. Wherever there are flowers, there are these guys.
Seeing so many bees, Zhou Mingshu was thinking about honey.
"Second sister, there are so many bees here, doesn't that mean there is a beehive nearby?"
"It's hard to find. Besides, these bees fly far away, so their nests may not be here. These bees are very smart. They hide their nests on cliffs or big trees. They are high and dangerous, so they are not easy to find."
Zhou Mingshu nodded after hearing this. If these things could be easily obtained, they would not be so expensive.
"Yeah, it depends on luck. Anyway, it's impossible to find it in our area. The nearby mountains are almost bald because of us. Haha."
Whether the villagers of Lianglin Village are looking for food or daily necessities, they all look for them in the nearby mountains. Small paths have been created in the mountains, as good things are hard to find anyway.
"That's right. When the busy farming season is over, maybe we can go a little further in. The mountain where I picked garlic last time was pretty good. I want to go there again."
Zhou Mingqi likes that mountain very much. Although it is desolate, it has many good things.
Thinking of the several kudzu plants there, Zhou Mingshu nodded. There were indeed a lot of good things there.
"Let's go together next time."
The two of them picked a basket of day lilies, some of which had already bloomed and some of which were still buds.
This kind of flower bud is the best, it is green with a little yellow, and it is delicious when dried and stewed with meat.
On the way back, the two met villagers from the same village, and the direction they were walking was the daylily field.
"We came just in time. If we were any later, we would have to go back with an empty basket."
Zhou Mingqi said quietly.
"Yeah, if we add what we picked and what others picked, there won't be that much next time we come."
Zhou Mingshu was thinking about things in the long term.
"It's okay. These plus the ones we had before are enough for us to eat for the whole winter. We can't always eat this. We still have other food."
"That's right. It's still early. Let's go somewhere else for a walk."
"it is good."
The day lily was not very heavy, so the two men each took a long stick and walked into the mountain to see if they could pick up a few handfuls of mushrooms.
The weather was hot and the mountain was dry, so there were not many mushrooms to pick.
However, Zhou Mingshu discovered several green pepper plants.
"Hey, the last time we picked pepper leaves, they were still small. It's only been two months since we last saw them, and they've grown so big. They grow so fast!"
"It looks like they are ripe. Let's pick some and cook them at home."
Looking at the round and plump green peppercorns, Zhou Mingshu was eager to try with his bare hands.
"Ah? There are needles and thorns all over it. How are we going to pick it? Or we should go home and get a pair of scissors!"
If you look closely, you can see caterpillars and soybean worms on it.
Bean worms are large, fat, and look a bit scary.
